Real Madrid keen on Sevilla’s sporting director Monchi

Florentino Pérez has set his sights on acquiring the services of Sevilla’s sporting director, Monchi, ahead of next season according to Andalusian broadcaster Canal Sur, who report that the Real Madrid president wants the man credited with much of Sevilla’s 21st century success to head up the same role at the Bernabéu. However, Real Madrid face considerable competition for the 48-year-old, primarily from Roma and the Premier League.

Last summer Monchi was on the verge of leaving the Sánchez Pizjuán and informed the board of his decision but the suits pointed to a 10-million-euro rescission clause in his contract and Monchi was forced to reconsider his position. However, it seems inevitable that he will jump ship this summer.
